Air strikes hit Syrian air base, state media report 

Deadly missile strikes hit a Syrian military airbase on Monday, state media said, but Washington and Paris denied carrying them out in response to an alleged poison gas attack. US President Donald Trump and French counterpart Emmanuel Macron had on Sunday vowed a "strong, joint response" to the suspected chemical attack on the rebel-held town of Douma. The alleged gas attack sparked global alarm and the UN Security Council was expected to discuss the crisis later on Monday. Syrian state news age
